13 Reasons Why cast does emotional table read for series finale

(CNN) — Netflix hit drama 13 Reasons Why is set to debut its series finale on June 5, and the cast is sad to see it go.

The final season of the Netflix teen drama, based on the 2007 novel Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, revolves around Liberty High School's senior class preparing to graduate. Of course, there's secrets and drama and heartbreaking choices before they get there.

The cast of Season 4 came together for a very emotional table read before filming the finale (and presumably before the COVID-19 pandemic brought productions to a halt). There were lots of tears and hugs for the final goodbye.

The series originated with classmates dealing with the death of their peer Hannah Baker (player by Aussie actress Katherine Langford). A mystery began to unravel with the discovery of a box of cassette tapes she left detailing the week leading up to her death. After four seasons, the cast has become family with many finding it hard to say goodbye.

"The fourth and final season of 13 Reasons Why is out in less than a month(!), and i miss these guys already," Dylan Minnette, who played Clay Jensen, wrote on Instagram.

"The love and admiration I have for this cast and crew is immeasurable," Alisha Ilhaan, who played Jessica Davis, wrote on her account. "These last four years has been some of the best of my life. I'm so grateful for the devoted fans of our show for supporting us through this journey. This last season is for you. I love you and enjoy watching us cry like babies."
